Grassroots Grants

The Grassroots Grants programme was established by the Government to assist in developing Clubs, such as ours, with projects so that they can reach additional people in the Community. The Club has been awarded a grant so that we can launch a new project to encourage more Sub-Junior members at the Club. The grant will provide for a range of belts, supportive wraps, and equipment that will make the sport more accessible to young novices. The Club is now working with Southwark council to make young people in the borough aware of the Club and the sport as an option. We hope that soon we will be hosting Powerlifting sessions for 15 and 16 year olds as part of their school sports sessions. All being well we hope that the Club will be able to send a team to the British  Sub-Junior Powerlifting Championships in 2010.
